Lockdown hasn’t meant stay put when it comes to careers, with some key appointments, promotions and switches completed in the Humber region.
Here is our latest regular round-up in association with On Line People, one of the largest regional suppliers of technical and professional personnel on temporary, interim and permanent placements.
Staff working on a Covid intensive care hospital ward
They are called the “daily death figures” – and they provide one of the starkest illustrations of the devastating loss of life caused by Covid-19.
For journalists, politicians and the wider public, the rising death toll has formed a vital part of our understanding of the severity of the pandemic over time.
It has also informed vital policy decisions, such as when lockdowns should be lifted.
But something unusual is happening to a small number of deaths in the data. These rare cases aren’t being reported to the public until much, much later than they occur – in some cases, up to nine months on.
NHS spends £30 million on preparing staff for inquests into patient deaths
One trust spent over £650,000 in a single year

NHS trusts have spent £30 million on “witness coaching” for inquiries into a series of hospital scandals, a Telegraph investigation has found.
Since 2012, NHS hospitals have spent over £28,000,000 on preparation for staff for coroners inquests into patient deaths, according to newly-released data.
One trust spent over £650,000 in a single year, amid accusations that NHS staff are still being “coached” to give model answers to influence coroners to limit damage to a hospital’s reputation.
“The fact that NHS trusts are spending such large amounts of taxpayers’ money on legal advice re inquests, when most bereaved families are left to fend for themselves is scandalous,” says Peter Walsh, Chief Executive of Action Against Medical Accidents (AVMA).
